On Saturday night, May 22nd, Washington, DC super bantamweight Daron "Sweet Tay" Williams put in some short work to win the ABF title on a Vegas Grand Boxing Promotions card at the Greenville Marriot in Greenville, SC. Williams defeated Robert Ledesma of San Antonio, TX by  technical knockout at 1:21 of the opening round of a scheduled six-round contest.  

The southpaw Williams dropped Ledesma twice in this contest. The first came when Williams landed a short right hook to the ear of Ledesma that sent him to the canvas for an eight-count. After recovering Williams missed with an uppercut but came back with a left hook that sent Ledesma on his back. He tried to make a quick recovery by rolling backwards to his feet, but referee Kenny Chevalier waived the bout off. 

Coming into this contest, Williams, now (9-1, six KO's) has not fought since scoring a second-round TKO over Raymond Chacon in September of 2019 in Sterling, VA. Williams originally was to be in a six-round encounter against Diamond J. Baker of Phoenix, AZ by way of the Philippines, but Robert Ledesma was his replacement on short notice.
